The protocol presented on the page at present conforms to the Skeen article which actually differs slightly from the description given at [1]. Specifically, the state transition on the cohort from prepared to committed only happens when receiving a commit message from the coordinator in the original article. Was there a change to the protocol in the meantime?
i reformatted the protocol description at the bottom of the page to look similiar to two-phase_commit. hope nobody minds. gba 18:56, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
